Safest Places to Travel in India during Covid-19!

A global pandemic hit the world, and here we are, cooped up inside our houses for more than half of the years 2020 and 2021! Everyone quarantined in their houses are probably dreaming about when they will get back out into the world and be free!

We had so many plans to travel the world, explore new places, eat delightful food, and spend some quality time with our loved ones, away from all the hustle-bustle of the cities. But instead, we had to stay at home, maintain social distancing, wash our hands regularly, wear a mask, follow the latest trends like making dalgona coffee, and work! We have been inside for too long now. We all deserve a pleasant, calm, and an exotic vacation!
